The heating element seems to be OK and working as where it is situated it does get hot and it is not blocked neither is where the warm air goes into the drum.
I have cleaned out what I think is the condenser (connected to the fan and an outlet to the back of the drum and also the rubber u- bend and also what looks like a vent)
The vent and the u-bend were fairly well blocked.
Does the cold water feed straight into the top of the condenser and then enter the drum from the back as the u-bend and vent pipe have water in them constantly.
I have noticed that sometimes water is lying in the bottom of the drum.I know that it uses cold water in the drying cycle but is there some sort of valve that could be letting to much water in on the drying cycle.
I have recently cleaned out the waste pipe and the pump so I know these are ok.The clothes feel hot after the cycle but because they are lying in water at the bottom of the drum they stay wet

i can not speak for your brand, so most of your questions i can not answer 
what does worry me though is the water still sitting in the bottom, this would imply that:
a) pump not working
b) pump pipes bocked.
but as you said that you have cleaned these, i would ask can you here the pump running when the drying cycle is on, and when you do a "normal wash" does your m/c take a while to empty? (you could just put the mc onto a rinse cycle (then turn m/c on) to see how quick water is pumped out

The machine drains quickly and i have checked the pipes to the pump all ok.Everything seems in order but it just sometimes has a couple of centimetres of water lying in the drum after the drying cycle(have checked drum is empty of water before putting on drying cycle)It is probably just one of those things that will happen every now and again but cannot explain why.
